A Year of Cool Comic Book Moments – Day 31
Here is the latest cool comic book moment in our year-long look at one cool comic book moment a day (in no particular order whatsoever)! Here‘s the archive of the moments posted so far! Today we mix things up a bit by picking a moment that is cool less for the moment itself but rather [...]
A Month of Writing Stars – Rutu Modan
Every day this month I have featured a current comic book writing “star,” someone who I think is a very good writer. I’m mostly going to try to keep from the biggest names as much as possible, because, really, do I need to talk more about the awesomeness of Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman and Warren [...]
Finally, A Zombie Manga For Fans of Japanese MMA

- in General
It certainly took long enough, but Dick Hyacinth has word that such a thing exists and is being published in America. It’s called Tokyo Zombie and, well, I know at least one guy who will enjoy it. That’s good enough reason to bring it up, isn’t it? It actually does sound interesting beyond the hilarious [...]
The One Thing I Got From Final Crisis: A Spinoff Series I’d Like To See
- by Brad Curran

I enjoyed the climax of Final Crisis, and the series as a whole, even if I can’t articulate why, really.

Flippin’ through Previews – February 2009
You know, Greg Hatcher claims he can’t find anything worthy from the Big Four in this month’s Previews. Let’s see if we can prove him wrong, as we take a look at issue #245 (I liked the volume-number format better, just so you know), the one with a drooling alien on the cover!
Final Crisis Review Archive
With the series over, I thought it would be a good idea to give an archive of my reviews for each of the issues of the series (admittedly, I had to write the #4 and the Submit #1 review just now, which was odd – why didn’t I write reviews that day?). In addition, I [...]
Comics Are Awesome: Part 17 (in a series)

Friday’s Single-Issue Classic Countdown – conclusion
For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been taking a look at my personal top ten favorite single issues of ongoing super-hero series. Over the last two weeks we’ve counted down from ten to four, and this week it’s the top three.

A Month of Writing Stars – Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa
Every day this month I’m going to feature a current comic book writing “star,” someone who I think is a very good writer. I’m mostly going to try to keep from the biggest names as much as possible, because, really, do I need to talk more about the awesomeness of Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman and [...]
